WANA (Jan 21) – In response to threats made by the U.S. president against Iran, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote on his personal account on X.


As Iranians grieve their loved ones and rebuild what has been destroyed by terrorists, another threat looms: the final failure of diplomacy. An all-out confrontation will certainly be messy, ferocious, and drag on far, far longer than the fantasy timelines that Israel and its proxies are trying to peddle to the White House.

 

Iran’s message to President Trump is clear: The U.S. has tried every conceivable hostile act, from sanctions and cyber assaults to outright military attack—and, most recently, it clearly fanned a major terrorist operation—all of which failed. It is time to think differently. Try respect.
